Syrian Army attacks Daesh hideouts in eastern Homs

BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:30 P.M.) – For the second time this week, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has targeted the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) forces inside eastern Homs.

Led by the 3rd Corps, the Syrian Arab Army unleashed a barrage of surface-to-surface missiles and artillery shells towards Daesh’s posts near the Awayraz Dam and Al-Qurab Mountains.

According to a military communique from this front, the Syrian Arab Army’s attack resulted in the destruction of a couple Daesh dens, while also killing and wounding several terrorist combatants in eastern Homs.

Recently, the Syrian Arab Army has intensified their attacks in eastern Homs after fully securing the Al-Safa region in the nearby Al-Sweida Governorate.

The Syrian Arab Army is preparing to launch a big ground assault in the Badiya Al-Sham region of east Homs and west Deir Ezzor in the coming weeks; this is the last major Daesh pocket inside the government-held territories in Syria.
